Third.

This week has been eventful for the lot of you, if a bit political for some; another resistance meeting, petitions everywhere, group dinners, and the new addition of a bunch of chickens to the group have ensured that at the very least, you've all had reason to keep busy. Of course, there's still that incentive to keep in mind, as well as the fact that there's been a murder every Friday since everyone arrived. Either way, the clock chimes in the morning, as it always does; the doors to the kitchen and the mail room unlock themselves, and all seems quiet. Thankfully, today the ballroom is blessedly corpse-free, as is the rest of the first floor. Maybe it would be good to move upstairs, though, just to make sure the rest of the Academy is likewise. >Explore?

Was one, like, super busted when you last saw them, Hibeeks?

[THAT SEEMS IMPORTANT TO KNOW.]

[nankurunaisa]

When I got 'em all, they were all in one piece! But that one you guys are holdin'...that one's Ashley. The rest are her friends.

[Time to leave out ALL the details.]

[mortyfied]

[He looks surprised, and holds the pieces away from himself a little more.]

Th-this is supposed to be Ashley? [UGH THATS SO CREEPY]

What happened to it - wh-why is it broken?

[nankurunaisa]

Eh? How is it broken?

[After she's done with the desk, she'll be coming over to join you guys proper.]

Did she drop it or somethin'? She...she really didn't like those dolls.

[mortyfied]

She didn't? B-but Tabby said she was crying over this one earlier.. [Here do you want to hold the pieces? He's totally okay with handing them over.]

[nankurunaisa]

There's a story behind those dolls...she told me about it. I wonder if it's gonna be an important part of...the trial.

[Hibiki sounds more nervous than she usually does. Ashley had so many secrets.]

[mortyfied]

Um... it might be? If there's anything weird about the dolls that could point towards the person who killed her... y-you should probably say something during the trial.
